Abstract: In the thematic context of rural materialities, the materialities of medieval origin are studied. In this sense, the process of land occupation and colonization in the Middle Ages as a frame of the emergence of settlements and original materialities is analyzed. The study combines historical and documentary study along with visual and spatial analysis. The study area is the area of Entresierras in the northeast of the province of Segovia, which has maintained its medieval settlement and the initial or traditional structure of many villages to the present day. In this area, spatial biographies of the villages and styles of the medieval villages’ materialities in the contemporary age are finally established.
